Hello

[edit]

My name is Owen, I joined Wikipedia in April 2006. I'm British and I write in English. Please feel free to change my writing to Americanized spelling. My contributions so far have been to The Sopranos, Lost and The Wire articles. I also assess articles for WP:TV. I keep some cut and pastes on a sub-page for this.

The Wire See Talk:The_Wire#WP:URFA/2020_notes

There are several sentences with no references (excluding those citing the series itself).
MOS:SMALLTEXT should not be used in infoboxes.
Images need alt text per MOS:ACCIM; table needs a caption + row/column scopes per MOS:DTAB.
The episodes section does not conform to MOS:TVPLOT.
There is no ratings/viewership section.
The reception section appears disorganized.
There are some extremely short paragraphs (1–2 sentences).
It seems odd that the cast and characters section follows the style/themes sections.
there shouldn't need to be references in the lead of a television show article (apart from a quote, which could be paraphrased instead).
there are some questionable sources (Hobo Trashcan, IMDb, Cosmodrome Magazine, Identity Theory, student newspapers, etc.).
Aside from the journals, there is a lack of sources from databases now available for free at The Wikipedia Library, which may enhance the article.
Citations need checks for proper italics; working links.
